Ingredients

  • 20 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • colored sugar for decorating

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper². Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and well-combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
  5. Scoop dough by rounded 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls and roll between your palms until smooth. Roll through colored sugar and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.
  6. Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 10-11 minutes. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying!

Notes

  • If using salted, reduce the salt in the recipe to ½ teaspoon
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, bake cookies directly on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for at least a week.
